Pros

This environment encourages individual contributors to share their thoughts and opinions and take ideas and run with it. I find that I am able to be in the lead of my own design projects without the fear of having to get approval from someone and then having to change everything after.

Cons

This is a very fast paced environment, and things change very quickly. There are several projects I've worked on that have had very aggressive timelines, and several where we produced a product, only to have it never used.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

There used to be many. By the time I left all of the pros had been phased out. The only pro was allowing some people to stay remote- but if you wanted to advance in your career you would be forced back in office.

Cons

Low pay. Micromanaging. Hiring leadership from outside Paylocity and even outside of the industry. Major and extreme departmental changes rapidly. Change is a part of business but in six months my role became unrecognizable. I was there for five years and had planned to be there for much longer. This last year was terrible. Low communication from all leadership. Higher and higher expectations of employees with no bonuses or pay raises to accommodate. My regional director was forcing people out and speaking badly about employees regularly.
